🇬🇧UK Data Bill Stalls Over AI Copyright Clash
The UK’s proposed Data (Use and Access) Bill has hit a critical impasse as the House of Lords pushes back against provisions that would allow AI developers to train on copyrighted material without disclosing their datasets. A Lords amendment would require transparency about training data — a move the government resists. The legislation now enters a high-stakes “ping-pong” phase between parliamentary chambers, risking collapse if consensus is not reached.
This standoff is more than political choreography — it exposes the growing fracture between innovation policy and cultural rights. As the UK tries to position itself as an AI leader, lawmakers must now choose: enable opaque AI development or embed enforceable protections for creators.

🇬🇧The Tony Blair Institute Released a Report on intersection of Arts and AI
The Tony Blair Institute (TBI) issued a report ‘Rebooting Copyright: How the UK Can Be a Global Leader in the Arts and AI’. The report emphasises that countries that “embrace change and harness the power of artificial intelligence in creative ways will set the technical, aesthetic, and regulatory standards for others to follow.”
The authors think that “bold policy solutions are needed to provide all parties with legal clarity and unlock investments that spur innovation, job creation, and economic growth.” The TBI proposes that the solution lies not in clinging to outdated copyright laws but in allowing them to “co-evolve with technological change”.
The report also delves into the disagreement between rights holders and developers on copyright, the wider implications of copyright policy, and the serious hurdles the UK’s text and data mining proposal faces.

🇺🇸Federal Judge Rejects UMG’s Injunction Against Anthropic
A U.S. federal judge denied Universal Music Group’s request to block Anthropic from using song lyrics to train its AI model, Claude, citing a lack of “irreparable harm.” This decision is a setback for music publishers, who argue that Anthropic has infringed on lyrics from at least 500 songs without permission.
The broader lawsuit, filed by UMG, Concord, and ABKCO, is still ongoing. While UMG remains confident in its case, Anthropic welcomed the court’s decision, calling the injunction request “disruptive and amorphous.” This ruling highlights the ongoing legal battle over AI training data and copyright enforcement in the music industry.

🇬🇧Paul McCartney urges government crackdown on AI copyright
In his recent interview Paul McCartney has called on the UK government to take action against AI “ripping off” creative professionals. He also criticized proposals that would allow AI developers to use creators’ content without their consent, unless rights holders opt out.
“When you’re passing a bill, make sure you protect the creative artists, or you won’t have any,” said McCartney.

USA: New Bill Proposes Disclosure of AI Training Data
A proposed bill spearheaded by Rep. Adam Schiff seeks to address concerns regarding the use of copyrighted materials in training artificial intelligence models.
Dubbed the Generative AI Copyright Disclosure bill, it mandates tech companies to disclose any copyrighted materials utilized in their AI training datasets. The bill requires comprehensive reports detailing the copyrighted content and associated URLs to be submitted to the Copyrights Register. Additionally, any modifications to the dataset must be reported.
Companies must submit these reports at least 30 days before releasing AI models trained on the disclosed datasets to the public. While not retroactive, the bill applies to any subsequent changes made to existing AI platforms' training datasets.
Although developers argue that their models are trained on publicly available data, concerns persist regarding the use of copyrighted materials without explicit consent. The bill enjoys support from various industry groups, including the Writers Guild of America, the Recording Industry Association of America, and others. Notably, the Motion Picture Association has not backed the initiative.

📖AI, Copyright, and the Expanding Grey Zones
The Alan Turing Institute has released a new report analyzing how generative AI is reshaping global copyright frameworks. The authors identify four emerging “grey zones” at the intersection of law, ethics, technical standards, and hybrid stakeholder interests, noting that existing rules are being re-examined as AI-generated content challenges traditional assumptions about authorship and rights.
The report is designed for a wide audience, from first-time readers to experts in law, policy, technology, and the creative industries, reflecting the growing need for cross-disciplinary understanding. By mapping areas where copyright regimes are under strain, the Institute aims to clarify how rapidly evolving AI systems are influencing regulatory debates worldwide.

Creative Industries Call for Stronger Protections in EU AI Act
A coalition of creative industry organizations representing writers, musicians, and other artists issued a statement regarding the EU AI Act.
The statement welcomes the Act's focus on regulating general-purpose AI, particularly its emphasis on compliance with EU copyright laws and data transparency.
While supportive, the coalition emphasizes the need for robust implementation of the Act across the EU and member states.
A key concern raised is the Act's handling of text and data mining exceptions. The coalition argues these exceptions, designed before the rise of large-scale generative AI models, are inadequate for addressing the use of creative works in AI-generated content.
Despite existing EU directives, the organizations argue creators are not adequately compensated for the use of their work in AI-generated content.
The statement concludes by urging EU policymakers to engage in open and comprehensive discussions to establish a legal framework that effectively protects creators' rights and ensures fair compensation in the age of generative AI.

🇺🇸🎼Music Publishers Sue Anthropic Over AI Training Data
Major music publishers led by Universal Music Group and Concord Music Group have filed a lawsuit against Anthropic, alleging the company illegally downloaded more than 20,000 copyrighted songs to train its Claude chatbot. The complaint claims the dataset included sheet music, lyrics, and compositions by artists such as The Rolling Stones, Neil Diamond, and Elton John. According to the publishers, the materials were obtained via unauthorized torrenting and used without consent.
The plaintiffs estimate potential damages exceeding $3 billion, which would make the case one of the largest non-class action copyright disputes in U.S. history. The lawsuit states that Anthropic’s business was built on “flagrant piracy,” contradicting its public positioning as an AI safety and research company.

AI and Copyright: CanLII Challenges Caseway Over Use of Court Data
The Canadian Legal Information Institute (CanLII) has filed a lawsuit against AI-powered legal research startup Caseway, claiming the service unlawfully uses its enhanced court decisions to build its own database. CanLII asserts that the data it offers is copyrighted due to significant editorial work, including cataloging and indexing. However, Caseway's founder, Alistair Vigier, denies using CanLII’s enhanced data, arguing that their platform accesses only original court records and does not store any copyrighted content from CanLII.
CanLII’s claim highlights the ongoing debate around access to legal information and copyright, echoing recent cases involving other legal databases. Interestingly, despite the lawsuit, Caseway reports a surge in interest, with over 200 new sign-ups and growing investor interest. As both parties aim to support access to legal information, this case emphasizes the importance of clear policies on AI data use in legal tech.
